Hi,
I posted this on RWI a couple days ago, and I don't normally cross-post things, but Chieftang suggested I post it here as well, so here goes. I figure maybe some of you might be interested but don't read RWI. Hope you like it.
Here's my franken VC Overseas project.
It started life as the "non-Silix" eta version, the one without AR. The watch now has the following mods:
-Gen dial and hands (hour & minute hands, the second hand is still the rep)
-ETA 7750 date wheel (per this post: http://www.replica-watch.info/phpBB3/viewt...=54&t=51615)
-Chief AR
It took a while to get it all done and put back together, but...well, you all can judge the result. I'm happy. Now on to the eyecandy:
I just had to pick up a gen box for this one, so here's the finished watch in its new home:
I also got a catalog:
Here are some shots showing off the awesome AR from Chieftang:
A wristie:
I finally was able to take a halfway decent lume shot:
And last: a before and after pic. The rep dial isn't bad at all, but it really looks very different than the gen when they are side by side.
Big thanks go to d4m, ar0401 for his help and advice in doing the dial mod, and to Chieftang for the awesome AR. Thanks guys!
